"Honey bees, skeps, wax and bee boles - a brief foray into the history of bee keeping"

Just a single hive of bees appears in the Domesday record for Fyfield, but Essex is a county with a long tradition of beekeeping. This talk will reveal some of the woes which befell past beekeepers, how they adopted improved methods of bee husbandry and will consider their economic value within the county.
